Ok, it LOOKED like a pillar of fire

Last night’s sunset was most spectacular Darlings.  Here, anyway the setting sun had what appeared to be a pillar of fire shooting right out of the top of the setting sun.

The photo doesn’t do it justice, of course, oh you can see the effect but the reality was truly spectacular.  Spectacular as in “is this a sign of the end of the world?” Breathtaking.  On the other hand it was very cold last evening, as the Fab stood in the snow staring gap jawed to the west.  So, the breathtaking might have been the cold air along with the unusual sunset.  The cold air certainly (as it turns out) was the cause of the “pillar of fire” which is in the non overly  enthusiastic non dramatic world where scientists live called a Sun Pillar.

Clearly if a scientist can explain it, and other folks have photographed it, the end of the world isn’t imminent.  At least from this light in the sky,
